1 Samuel 23:26-29 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

26. Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side of the mountain; and David was hurrying to get away from Saul, for Saul and his men were surrounding David and his men to seize them.

27. But a messenger came to Saul, saying, "Hurry and come, for the Philistines have made a raid on the land."

28. So Saul returned from pursuing David and went to meet the Philistines; therefore they called that place the Rock of Escape.

29. David went up from there and stayed in the strongholds of Engedi.
